The Koranic Mosque

The Koranic Mosque.












The Blue Mosque (seen in Istanbul, Turkey), is one really, of interest to many perhaps. In many ways though, it is falsely associated with, Ottoman Islam, as it in many ways really, is rather Roman/Roma Italian, in Architecture, as compared to other, Mosques, such as the Red Mosque, which fully do embody, Ottoman Islam, from more or less the perspective, of the Byzantium Arts.

The Blue Mosque though, falsely believed built, in the 17th Century, was actually truly built, in the 19th, and in many ways too, can be considered, one of the pillars, of, Islam. Its a Mosque, that differs from that, in Mecca, or Medina too even, as the former (Mecca), is strongly associated with, Sunni Islam, and the very act, of becoming, a 'Servant of Allah'. The Mosque at Medina though, is strongly too really, associated with, Shi'a Islam, and is too also, associated with, becoming, a 'Messenger of Allah'.

The Blue Mosque though, rather differs in all, as while too though, it is associated with, Sunni Islam, it is in many ways though (if not all), associated really, with becoming, the 'Elect of Allah'. What this really means is that, one is in many ways (if not all), a 'foreseer' of Change, as with regards to, Civility in general.

[In many ways too though, Shi'a Islam, and the Mosque at Medina, are strongly associated, with Victorian like 'Bodies' (as with Ethical Judgement); while Sunni Islam, and the Mosque at Mecca, are associated with (really), Roman/Christian Bodies. The Blue Mosque though, is associated though really, with, Koranic Bodies]

What though, makes the Blue Mosque, Koranic really, is the very fact that, it is not really truly, Sunni (as with becoming, a 'Servant of Allah'), but in most ways really, associated with newer Religious readings, that in many ways too, results really, in a split within Sunni Islam. One of the most famous of these works (actually inspired, by the Blue Mosque itself and also too, rather Koranic in nature), are the readings/poetry, of rather unknown famed poet, Lord Byron [and one, of the founders too, of the Blue Mosque itself].
